Question

Write one function each of the parts - (i) petals (ii) anther (iii) style and (iv) ovary of a bisexual flower.

Hint:

Petals attract pollinators, anthers produce pollen, styles guide pollen to the ovary, and the ovary contains ovules that become seeds after fertilization.

Answer 1

In a bisexual flower, each part has a specific role:
1. Petals: These colorful parts attract pollinators like bees and birds, aiding pollination.
2. Anther: The anther produces pollen, which holds male gametes (sperm) needed for fertilization.
3. Style: This tube links the stigma to the ovary, allowing pollen tubes to reach the ovary during fertilization.
4. Ovary: The ovary holds ovules (eggs). Following fertilization, the ovary develops into a fruit containing seeds.
